Don't Skimp on (Healthy) Carbs
Carbs have developed a bad reputation among the lean crowd, which means they’re perfect for anyone looking to gain — right? Well, carbs are generally calorie-packed, and they do offer a lot of energy, but it’s still important to choose wisely to avoid other potentially hazardous health effects.
Vegetables, fruits and whole grains deserve to play a major role in your daily diet. They’re packed with vitamins and antioxidants, they give you loads of energy, and they can be surprisingly calorie-dense (especially grains like flax, brown rice and wheat germ).
Carbs will also help your body use the protein you consume to put on muscle, rather than burn that protein for fuel.
